The Update Assistant in Windows 10 cannot be uninstalled, but you can get rid of it

Click your Start Button, type Task Scheduler and hit enter

In the left Pane, navigate to: Windows - Update Orchestrater

Right Pane double click 'Update Assistant'

Click on Triggers Tab

On each of the triggers ( At login . . . etc.) double click and uncheck 'Enabled'

Under 'Update Assistant, there is another event 'Update Assistant CalendarRun'

Do the same for all triggers on that event

Restart your system, that's It!

    Of course that works: I do it at least twice daily!   The program then re-installs itself and makes another attempt to update Windows 10 - which, for reasons unknown to anyone (probably including itself), it finds impossible.

    My (and others') question is how one can unstall the update assistant permanently.

    This is ludicrous!!   I do not wish my application of Windows to be 'updated' at the moment.  Why, therefore, can I not delete the relevant program?  Sorry to be vulgar, but who the hell owns my computer: me or Microsoft?  I do not expect Renault to tell me how to manage my car or Bosch my dishwasher so why should the maker of the operating systrem on my computer presume to tell me what I may or may not do with it?  Or, worse, foist its products on me when I have not asked for the them or in ways that make them 'unrefusable'?  This is all some kind of technological dictatorship in which the user has no role and no say.
